CLEVELAND TO THE POPE.
The President Makes Leo an APP
propriate Present.

BALTIMORE. Dec. ga special dis
patch from Rome to the Sun says the
present from President Cleveland to the
pope arrived last night. The present is
"a copy of the United States
constitution beautifully engrossed
land richly bound in book
form. 1t was forwarded to Rome
Through Cardinal Gibbons, who received
it in Baltimore from President Cleve-
land about three weeks ago. 1t was ac-
eompanied by a letter, in which the
president requested the cardinal to send
his cordial congratulations to the pope
;on his approaching jubilee. 1.-The
present" continues the dispatch, ''has
been placed in the keeping of the Amer
iean college here, where it will remain
-until formally presented to the pope by
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, and
Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo. The book is
gilt-edged, contains fifteen pages, each
page. eighteen inches square, and
is bound with veilum of cream
color. The words .'Fhe Constitution
of the United States of America are
on the cover in gilt letters. The book
rests in handsome case of tyrian
purple. The few persons who have
seen the present speak very highly of
its merit as a specimen of what Amerl-
cans can do in this line, but the greatest
praise it has created is given the presi
dent for the simplicity of his gift.

AFALsE COMPARISON.

The Kansas City Times is usually an
enterprising and fair-minded journal,
but it has of late been exhibiting lam
entable ignorance of the facts in COM
menting upon Northwestern matters.
1t was to be expected that the Times,
which assumes to speak for the entire
Southwest, would put on the best posi-
bic face over the deplorable state of
affairs existing in Kansas, and would
make every possible excuse for the suf-
fering that undoubtedly exists in that
state.
But in doing so it was quite unneceS-
Sary for the Times to draw false and in
vidious comparisons between Kansas
and the Northwest, as it does in recent
issue, in which, referring to the effects
of the late severity of the weather in
Kansas, it says: If Western Kansas
felt the effect of sudden cold, in new
country, the Northwest felt it still more
keenly. Look at the reports from Da-
kota, Minnesota and Nebraska. Where
one unfortunate settler. careless about
providing fuel or unable to provide it
through poverty, has succumbed to the
rigors of the frost in Kansas, ten have
been stricken in Dakota"
Nothing could be more misleading
With those not acquainted with the
Northwest it may be possible that the
Times will accomplish its purpose, but
it will reflect no credit upon itself in
doing so. AS matter of fact, there has
been no suffering whatever either in
Minnesota or Dakota this winter from
the cold. No reports detailing hardships
Oceasioned by the severity of the
weather have been sent out, simply be-
cause there have been none to send.
Thus tar the winter in the Northwest
has been comparatively mild, much
milder than usual; and not a single
death, so far as known, has taken place
as the result of exposure.
By statements maliciouSly false re-
garding the Northwest, the journals of
the Southwest cannot lessen by one iota
the great suffering which has been ex-
perienced in that section. They will
only bring about disposition to check
tie charitable impulses of the generous
people in the prosperous Northwest
toward their needy brethren in the
South

PRACTICE AND PRECEPT.

Doubtless nearly every one of the
GLOBES thousands of readers at
tended church yesterday and
listened to the old story, which
loses nothing in its frequent re-
petitions, of the Savior's birth. And
perhaps some of them heard the beau
ties of charity extolled. the doctrine of
liberality toward our unfortunate breth-
rem commended, and may have even
joined in an expression of prayerful
sympathy for the poor and lewly.
They listened, perhaps to an eloquent
exposition of the duties of man to man
and upon the gratitude they owed to
Providence because they were more
fortunately situated than those for
whose welfare they may have offered
their prayers. Sympathy for the poor
is all very well, but when it does not
take the practical form of putting ones
hand in ones pocket it Doesn't feed
any hungry mouths.
Precept is excellent indeed. but when
it is unaecempanied by practice it is
wasted breath. But the man or woman
who with a basketful of neceSsaries
relieves a suffering fellow-creature's
wants breaches sermon upon the text
of ''gOOd will toward men" more eloquent
than that spoken in any pulpit. Many
there were who listened to yesterdays
sermons that had already in one way or
another given practical illustration by
their efforts in behalf of the poor of
their appreciation of the Christmas les
son, but their number might well be in
creased.
So to others who may have yesterday
been stirred by eloquent words regard
ing the beauty of Christmas charity it
might be said that the accepted time for
putting precept into practice has nOtyet
gone by.

THE READING STRIKE.

The dissatisfied workmen who are in
augurating the Reading railroad strike
have heavy responsibility upon their
shoulders. 1t is no trivial thing to be
the means of causing 10000 workmen to
quit work, and the matter is aggra-
waited by the fact that the strike takes
place in midwinter. Most of these
employees are entirely dependent upon
their weekly wages for support.
They can not afford to remain idle for
week, TO say nothing of the months
that with determined opposition the
strike may endure. The amount of
suffering that this voluntary idlenesS
will therefore entail is incaiculable.
So far as reported no attempt at arbitra-
ton las been made. The Stri Ike la
been ordered as first instead Of q last
resort, and the contest between the men
and the corporation will soon begin. So

DEATH OF A RECLUSE.
Sudden Demise of a Strange Ole
80 Man In New York

Sudden Demise of a Strange Old
sn Man In New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-MOrey Hale
Barlow, descendant of Nathan Hale,
the revolutionary patriot executed as
spy by the British, was found dead this
morning in his room at a Lafayette
place, where he had dwelt as recluse
for many years. He made living by
canvaSsing for religious publications,
but spent most of his time in study and
those with whom he had business re-
lations, including DIR. Prime, of the OBJ
server, and others, knew nothing OF
his private history. He was member
Of the Geographical, Historical, Geneal-
Ogical and Huguenot societies., and was
a long time secretary of the Society for
the Advancement of Sciences and Arts.
He had made valuable researches as to
the circumstances of the death of
Nathan Hale. The janitor and lani-
tresS of the house where he
lived looked out for the old mans
comfort as much as he would allow.
They were surprised last night when he
departed from his usual reticence and
He said that he had at last succeeded
II IndhpAlS PioftoioA III 1iO SoihiVIo VI
his mother, who was eighty
three years old; and of his
three sisters. who lived with
her. He seemed very happy over this.
Soon afterward he went cut to supper.
An hour later he came in staggering
from weakness. The janitress ran to
assist him. I'm dying" said the old
man. He was helped to his bed and
given some brandy, which seemed
to help him. This morning the
janitress went early to the room
and found him dead. DR.. Prime and
Rev. c. A.. Stoddard were summoned.
They searched the room, which was
filled with books. but could find no clue
to BarlOw's history, except a letter
signed mother, postmarked Leganspert,
Ind. They sent telegram to that place
announcing his death.

pitchers in the old Northwestern league.
LOvett and Sowders. The first of these
Mr.. Seies chains down at Omaha, and,
with a Double purpose, secures the
transfer of the other to a National
league team. st. Paul. by careful
pruning, could have built about Sow
ders pennant-winning team, but
without him victory goes glimmerIng.
BY this move, therefore, Mr.. Selee takes
st. Paul out Of the race and at once
places Omaha very close to the front
rank. In fact. looking at the eight
teams as at present made up,
Omaha is probably the strongest
IN the list, containing, as it does, such
men as Lovett, Wilson, O'Connell, Mil
Ter, Walsh and Doran. If Manager
Barnes receives $500 for Sowders and
places a losing team in the field, the
prospects are pretty fair that he will
not only sink the 81, 500, but much more;
whereas, with Sowders in the box,
backed up by good men. the indications
are that $4,000 would not be an eXtrav-
'agant guess on the profits of 1888. The
sale of the young pitcher, therefore,
would appear to be unwise on the part
of the st. Paul management, but Mr..
Selee must be set down as a bright and
shining light of the base ball world.

The Tenement-House System.

New YORK, Dec. 25.-At to-day's
meeting of the Central Labor union the
threatened revival of the tenement
house cigarmakiug system was dis
cussed. Delegate Halter, of Cigarmak-
ers' union No. 10. declared that if work
ingInen in all branches of industry had
properly supported the eigarmakers'
union label the attempt to restore the
Infamous system would never have
been made. Delegate Jablinowsky,
of the same union, said
the cigarmakers of New York
were an the eve of a general strike of
enormous proportions. Othe cigar
makers concurred in this statement, and
the delegate from Union IA said several
firms had told their men that the tene
nient house system would be in force by
JAM s. The matter was referred to the
arbitration committee with instructions
to try it's best to prevent the bosses
from executing their threats.

THE SALE OF sOwDERs,


A gentleman with the appearance of
having just come in from the rural dis
tricts was in st. Paul the past week.
This gentleman was T. G.. Selee, who
must be written down at this point as
one of the shrewdest base ball managers
in the country 1t was Mr.. Selee who
organized the Oshkosh team. 1t was
Mr.. Selee who found out at an Oppor-
tune moment that his team was not
pennant-winner. 1t was Mr.. Selee
who coaxed Edward Sawyer TO
purchase the release of LOvett
and Wilson i'm the hour of greatest need.
1t was Mr.. Selee's team that won the
honors of the Northwestern league. 1t
was Mr.. Selee who held the flower of
his players at the seasons close and sold
them, with himself as manager, to the
Omaha association. 1t was Mr.. Selee
who negotiated the sale of MIR. Sowders
to Boston. 1t was Mr.. Selee who turned
up in. Indianapolis on Saturday to get
Mr.. Sowders to go to the Hub without
protesting, and in day or two Mr.. Selee
will deliver the goods to the Boston
management. This Mr.. Selee will be
heard of again. He is

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The Tribune
says: at appears now almost certain
that the views of Henry George, DR..
McGlvnn and few of the other prOmi-
nent leaders of the United Labor party,
will prevail. and that national con-
vention will be called before those
of the two great parties.
Many of the leaders are i'll
favor of holding the convention
on in Chicago. but the majority seem to
think that New York would prove a
more desirable place. since this city is
the party's stronghold. This question
will be settled within few days. There
is little doubt that the ticket will be
headed by Henry George, and that
Judge James G. Mcguire, of San Fran
cisco, will be the candidate for vice
president.

LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY.
A Successful Experiment on the
Chicago River.

CHICAGO, Dee. 25.-From this date
the main branch of the Chicago river
and that portion of the south branch as
far south as Washington street, will be
lighted by electricity. Last night the
experiment was made, and it proved
in every respect satisfactory. The sys-
TEN of electrical lights on the stream
will be extended, and the authorities
hope it to be the fOrerunner of a system
which will eventually light the streets
of Chicago. The lamps are mounted on
posts sixteen feet high, and the purpose
is to have two of them OH each bridge,
from four to six on each viaduct, two at
each street end and one here and there
along the docks in dark places.

FAITH

Trust, dear heart. IT'S my belief
That love like ours becomes sublime,
Beyond the touch of frosty time,
And sanctifies life's garnered sheaf.
Creations mighty wheel may rust,
The cogs may canker with decay,
The hours forget their wOnted way
And pausel else giddily roll back
Along the erstwhile wended track
OF pre-unraveled yesterday,
Thick-grooved with Memory ssacreddust.
But soul and heaven must estrange,
Dear heart, before my love could change'
